Maintenance
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench,
so that it does not twist.
If the adjustment is only made on one side, the middle
position of the steering will be affected.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment
as per item 2.
Adjusting the parking brake
The parking brake is adjusted as follows:
1
Loosen the locking nuts (1).
2
Tension the cable using the adjuster screw (2) until the
play in the cable is taken up.
3
Tighten the locking nuts (1) after adjustment.
4
The parking brake should be checked again after the
adjustment has been made.
Checking and adjusting of throttle
wire
Check that the engine responds to the throttle control and that
the correct engine speed is achieved at full throttle.
If doubts arise, contact your service representative.
If adjustment is necessary, adjust the lower wire as follows:
1
Loosen the clamping screw for the cable’s outer casing
and move the throttle to the full throttle position.
2
Check that the throttle wire is attached to the correct hole
in the lower lever, see diagram.
3
Pull the throttle wire casing to the far left and tighten the
clamping screw.
Checking and adjusting the choke
wire
If the engine is producing black smoke or is difficult to start
then the choke wire (upper wire) may be incorrectly adjusted.
If doubts arise, contact your service representative.
If it is necessary to adjust the choke, proceed as follows:
1
Release the clamping screw that secures the wire casing
and set the choke control to maximum choke.
2
Check that the throttle wire is attached to the upper lever,
see diagram.
3
Pull the choke wire casing to the far right and tighten the
clamping screw.
Replacement of fuel filter
Replace the fuel filter every 100 running hours (once per
season) or more frequently if it is clogged.
Replace the filter as follows:
1
Open the engine cover.
2
Move the hose clips away from the filter. Use a pair of flat
pliers.
3
Pull off the filter from the hose ends.
4
Press the new filter into the ends of the hoses. If
necessary apply liquid detergent to the ends of the filter to
facilitate connection.
5
Push the hose clips back on the filter and tighten.
Checking the fuel pump’s air filter
Check regularly that the fuel pump’s air filter is free from dirt.
The filter can when necessary be cleaned with a brush.
